Clausewitz (Oltre 4300 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. Clausewitz in English is a work of intellectual history that examines the reception of Carl von Clausewitz's military theories in Britain and the United States up to 1945. In the first comprehensive study of the literature, Christopher Bassford argues that the impact of Clausewitzian theory - particularly the classic On War, published in 1832 - has been underestimated and he follows the trail of Clausewitzian influence from pre-1873 Britain to 1945. Bassford finds that among those who explicitly discussed Clausewitz and his theories were soldiers, journalists, historians, political scientists and propagandists. In bringing this literature to light, Clausewitz in English makes a persuasive case for Clausewitzian theory having had a major impact on the broad development of British and American military thinking. It will be of interest to a wide range of military and intellectual historians.…

Two classicworksof military strategy that shaped the way we think about warfare:The Art of Warby Sun Tzu andOn Warby Karl von Clausewitz, together in one volume "Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars . . . if the influence of Clausewitz'sOn Warhad been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun Tzu'sThe Art of War."-B. H. Liddel Hart For two thousand years, Sun Tzu'sThe Art of Warhas been the indispensable volume of warcraft. Although his work is the first known analysis of war and warfare, Sun Tzu struck upon a thoroughly modern concept: "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." Karl von Clausewitz, the canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, also claims paternity of the notion "total war."On Waris the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. This book reveals the failings of the US Army in its adoption of the doctrine of 'Full Spectrum Operations' that codified the thinking of Von Clausewitz, whose book "On War" has been the staple military strategy bible for generations. The author demonstrates that the Army now has to adopt new doctrinal frameworks based on analysis of historical and previously successful methods of war and warfare for this rapidly-changing world. A clear and persuasive critique of current ideas about warfare, this lays out a new explanation of victory in war, based on an analysis of wartime casualties and post-conflict governance. It is a book of critical importance to policymakers, statesmen, and military strategists at every level.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Karl von Clausewitz's study On War was described by the American strategic thinker Bernard Brodie as 'not simply the greatest, but the only great book about war'. It is hard to disagree. Even though he wrote his only major work at a time when the range of firearms was fifty yards, much of what he had to say remains relevant today. Michael Howard explains Clausewitz's ideas in terms both of his experiences as a professional soldier in the Napoleonic Wars, and of the intellectual background of his time.…
